1t Was Gen. Grant.

The late Prof. Benjamin Pierce.
long of Harvard College, and later at
the head of the United States Coast
Survey, was a man of the keenest in
tellect and the soberest judgement.
One evening, just after the close of
the war, he was at an evening party i'll
Washington, and was introduced to a
quiet man whose name he did not
catch, buthe sat down beside him, and
soon was engaged with him in a long
and earnest talk. At the end of the
evening he asked his host, "Who was
that man to whom you introduced me
| didn'tcatch his name, but he seems
to me the cleverest and solidest man
| have met in years-a man of very
great powers" why" said his host,
didn't you know? That was Gen.
Grant" -Hdrper's Magazine.

Much has been written and said about
how to make home happy. The moralist
and the preacher have hackneyed this
theme until it would seem nothing more
remained to be said. But the philoso-
piers have gone far out of their way to
account for the prevalence of ll-assorted
couples and unhappy homes, and have
overlooked the chief cause. Most of the
unhappiness of married life can be traced
directly to those functional arrangements
to which women are subject. In nine
cases out of ten the irritable, dissatisfied
and unhappy wife is sufferer from some
'female complaint" A trial of DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription will pro-
duce more domestic happiness than
million sermons or philosophical treatises.
1t cures all those peculiar weaknesses and
ailments incident to women. 1t is the
only medicine sold by druggists, under
positive guarantee from the manufactur-
ers, that it will give satisfaction in every
case, or money will be refunded. See

Rather good Indian story comes
from the Plegan reserve. 1t is we'll
known fact that an Indian generally
expects pay for anything in the way
of work he cOndescends to undertake,
even if the work is for his own bene-
lit A healthy-loOking Indian came
to the agency with an ak to grind.
Mr.. Eide, who is in charge of the
agency, volunteered to hold the AK
while the Indian was to do the turn
ing. The job was finally finished, and
as the Indian took his ak he demand
ed SO cents for turning the handle
Mr.. Ede thereupOn presented a contra
account, and informed the Indian that
he wanted 81 for holding the Ak. The
Indian took in the situation and went
back to reflect on the wickedneSs of
the white man. - Fort Mcleod Ga

How we'll | remember General Rob-
ert E. Lee, then a major, who was
stationed there at that time. He was
the beau ideal of soldier and gentle
man. When bidding us good-by and
God-speed upon the eve of our depart
ure he said to me: Il understand that
you contemplate DESERVING your post,
which is by your husbands side, and
that you're not going to California with
him. If you will pardon me, should
like to give you little advice. AS

small prOvacatiOn to live apart either
for short or long time. The result
is invariably that they cease to be es-
sential to each other. "Now, promise
me that you will not permit him tC
sail without YOU"
'The sequel shows how faithfully
sought to follow that noble admoni-
tiOn, and how after, on my varied ex-
perience, | had occasion to transmit
to others his disinterested, truthful
convictions. With many regrets we
babe adieu to host of friends, most
Of whom | never saw again. Not 80
